Adding to this with a post I found on wallstreetbets.

Not exactly a reputable source, but the OP does go through several key indicators and shows their math (with screenshots of a calculator, lol)

Maybe I’m becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don’t really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. “Yes, so much bargaining power!”

I can’t find the article I’m thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don’t even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.

It’s like everyone forgot he was busy causing constitutional chaos to avoid justice.

Of course, the moment the constructive criticism is only coming from the outside will be when it gets labeled as foreign manipulation to further cement tribalistic mentality and provide fresh out-groups to hate and fear.

What, you don’t like smoothbrained out-of-touch takes about an entire generation based on the transparent dictate of global property holdings companies?

Old Souls in Young Bodies™ my ass. People are going low-tech to escape pervasive panopticon and the endless stream of fake fucking people and conspiracy peddlers.

Any time I read these broad-brush generation articles, I have to hold my eyes still to avoid setting my skull on fire with frictive heating.

They’ll be moved by force if it gets large enough. Homeless people reaching critical mass is something cities actively “tackle” by loading them onto buses and sending them elsewhere.

Suppressing the timely resolution of this strike allows new media companies that don’t follow the same rules to fill the demand. I’m sure TikTok benefits from that to some small degree, but they probably suppress protest footage and related as a default to preserve “social harmony”.
